Creamy Garlic Dressing

When I first put this dressing together I thought it wasn't going to be a hit at our house. It just seemed like a spiced-up mayo, but after the flavors melded in the refrigerator it was scrumptious. It is a thick dressing, much like a Cesar dressing.

We put the greens in our salad bowl and then just added the amount of dressing each of us wanted and tossed it like Cesar salad. You could make one big bowl, as well. We ate this dressing for three or four days straight and it got tastier every day!

Hint: We double dressing to use on the side and use raw or toasted cashews. **We use one beater on our hand mixer to mix the dressing together. When we do it by hand it sometimes doesn't blend well.
